Even though Janice's "Oh my God" ritual became the second-most iconic phrase of Friends (behind only "we were on a break"), and Mike Hannigan married into the crew late in the show, James Michael Tyler's bright-haired barista Gunther was the undeniable seventh "friend" of the Central Perk six.

But he was still the most consistent guest star on the show and held his coffee-shilling role for all 10 seasons. So, why has Tyler disappeared, while the rest of the cast still steadily works on the small and big screens? Let's take a look at why we don't hear much from Gunther anymore.
